PART THREE THE ORCISH THREAT
By: Drew H. Schneider
Time passed by and the threat of the spider was long forgotten. About three weeks after the Lombardia defeated the spider some adventurers came along and claimed that they had killed it. The boy didn't mind this so long as Lombardia remained his secret he was satisfied. The curfews were removed and life became peaceful again. Soon the boys 12th birthday came and he celebrated it with his family and friends it was almost the perfect day. When the party was over the boy went out to the forest to visit Lombardia. He found the dragon sleeping so he crept up to the slumbering titan and decided to get some sleep to so he took a nap next to his dragon. Little did the boy know that not too far away some orcs were camping to prepare for a pillaging raid. The orcs were vicious creatures what they lacked in intellect they made up for in brute strength. One of the orcs was hunting for food when it caught the smell of something it hated almost as much as humans, a dragon. It tracked the smell until it found the cave where Lombardia was sleeping. Now orcs may be stupid but not stupid enough to try to kill a dragon alone so it went back to camp to tell the others about the dragon. It was at that moment the boy woke up when he realized how late it was he decided to go back but when he looked around Lombardia was not there thinking the dragon was just out grazing the boy headed back home. During the night the orcs planned a way to capture the dragon. After many, many hours of thinking they figured a way. The next morning when the boy went to visit Lombardia he saw her chained up by orcs apparently the orcs had caught the dragon by surprise. They were laughing for joy at the thought of dragon meat for dinner the boy quickly hid in the bushes so as not to be seen. However the dragon sensed his presence which only made its anxiety worse. The orcs however did not notice the boy and proceeded to put the dragon on to a wagon and pulled it back to their base. The boy not wanting to lose the first real friend he had followed at a distance hoping to any god listening that by the time they got to where they were going that he would have a plan...
